Why 2.4 million websites choose Cookiebot CMP
Set up in under 5 minutes

Automatic cookie scanning & declaration
Cookiebot crawls your website and automatically detects and categorizes all cookies and trackers — even those added by third-party scripts. Your cookie declaration stays up to date with every scan.
Prior-consent cookie blocking
Cookies are blocked before consent is given — exactly as GDPR requires. Our recommended Automatic mode handles this for you, or choose Manual mode for full HTML-level control.
Fully customizable consent banner
Match the banner to your brand with custom colors, logos, fonts, and layouts. Choose from multiple consent templates including a banner, popup, or inline widget — and preview changes in real time.
Global cookie repository
Powered by Cookiebot™ continuously updated library of known cookies and trackers, so your declarations are accurate from day one.

Questions
- Is Cookiebot free?
Yes. You can start on a Free plan to try the core consent features and upgrade anytime as your needs grow.
- My banner isn’t showing on my site, what do I do?
First, confirm that your Domain Group ID is correct in the plugin settings. If it still doesn’t appear, open the Support tab, copy the debug info, and contact support so we can check your setup.
- How do I customize my banner?
Open the Cookiebot Admin. You can adjust layout, colors, texts, and buttons to match your brand and choose how choices are displayed.
- How can I check my cookie scan results or repeat them?
Go to the Cookiebot Admin to view scan results. You can also trigger a new scan there whenever you update tags, plugins, or embeds.
- Why am I being offered a trial?
The trial lets you experience the product before deciding. If you’re not ready to upgrade after the trial, you can continue on the Free plan.
- Can I switch to a different legal framework?
Yes. The Cookiebot by Usercentrics plugin for WordPress supports multiple legal frameworks by allowing you to set up separate banner configurations for different regions or countries.
To do this, enable “Multiple Configurations” under the Multiple Configurations tab in the Cookiebot plugin settings, then add banner configurations for the specific regions you want to support.
This setup uses separate Domain Groups for each configuration and the data-georegions attribute in the Cookiebot script to display the correct banner based on the visitor’s location — for example, one for GDPR and another for CCPA/CPRA. You can run multiple configurations, as long as only your primary Domain Group contains your actual domain.
- What is Google Consent Mode and how can I use it with Cookiebot?
Consent Mode lets Google tags adapt to each visitor’s choice. Cookiebot sends that consent status automatically, so conversions from consenting users are tracked as usual, and non-consenting visits are handled in a privacy-safe way to reduce data gaps in your reports. Result: clearer conversion visibility and steadier campaign optimization, without custom code — just enable Consent Mode in the Cookiebot Admin.
- Does Cookiebot integrate with the WP Consent API?
Usercentrics Cookiebot is fully integrated with the WP Consent API. When your visitors give consent using Usercentrics Cookiebot, the consent will automatically be sent to the WP Consent API.
